Eggspectation the Montreal based chain is always a treat. It was really nice to be able to enjoy a little piece of Canadiana in Dubai. As the name implies breakfast and brunch has been the main attraction since its inception, but lunch and dinner options now colonize its menu.
We shared the Montreal Smoked Meat Poutine and you should too. I typically prefer some skin on my chips but these french fries were done beautifully and the savory gravy was light with perfectly melted cheese curd and a balanced portion of Montreal smoked meat.
My wife explored the Breakfast Migas, scrambled eggs on a flour tortilla that was helped tremendously by a dollop of hot sauce. Her sister enjoyed the Eggspectation Bagel which arrived first making my wife and I envious of her choice. My Goat Cheese Salad was beautifully light and fresh with a generous serving of goat cheese though I might have preferred a little more cherry tomato.
The staff were wonderful and our beautiful server Asma was thrilled to keep our baby boy entertained while the restaurant wasn’t busy. Service was prompt and the food was on point. With a few coffees and a diet coke we spent 75 aed per person.
No nonsense or theatrics, the place was overall good value and we left happy and satisfied. Hopefully we get another chance to explore the menu further. One of the few places in the city walk area open before 10:00am. If you're an early riser this is the spot.

Doing something simple really well is the mark of a true master. Lebanese flower served up perfectly moist and flavourful cakes accented by tasteful toppings such as lotus, coffee, dark chocolate and Oreo. These three individual cakes and some fresh saj bread ran us 29 Dirham and were worth every penny. They got lots of other options that my wife and I are excited to explore.
Beware! If you don’t get sick it will be the best part of your visit. Service, discovered workers eating on the floor behind the register. Reusable chopsticks are never a good sign. Atmosphere, restaurant is poorly ventilated and not well air conditioned. We really should have known better, but we ate anyway. I raced to the bathroom within 20 minutes of consuming. My son who shared some of my soup vomited shortly after me. My wife was spared, but didn’t feel great. The food really isn’t that tasty, there isn’t much value and it’s not worth risking your health. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
